The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
Previously on King of Mask Singer.
It was as intense as watching a martial arts movie.
With her invincible voice which has reached the highest level,
she beat Gypsy Girl and seized the throne.
She's the 71st Queen of Mask Singer,
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
We will bring you peace with beautiful music.
The mysterious music show, King of Mask Singer.
I am your unbiased show host, Kim Seong Ju. Nice to see you all.
(Lady Jane, Roh Ji Sun)
(Kang Daniel, Jeong Jong Cheol)
Last week, a new queen has taken over the throne.
A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
Would you like to introduce yourself to the viewers for the first time?
Hello. Nice to meet you.
I am A Woman of Her Own, Swordswoman.
(She's cute.)
How do you feel today? You're having your first defense match today.
Do you think you can continue your winning streak?
Actually, I still can't believe that I've become the queen.
So I'm not sure.
(Chuckling)
But I will do my best.
It looks like you don't sound like a queen yet.
(Well...)
Then I should be the queen for a long time.
All right.
One of the most important qualities politicians should have is...
a desire for power.
They need to be determined. It's the same for us celebrities.
We have to be determined to become a star.
It seems like she's very eager...
to keep the throne for a long time so that we can hear good music.
I can feel that from the beginning.
(I agree.)
You're saying you sensed her desire to be in power for a long time.
If you'd like to put it that way.
So today,
I wonder which of the contestants will be her match.
I think we should keep our eyes on the contestants.
Now, who will become 71st queen, Swordswomen's rival...
and who will be the one to survive to the end?
Let's begin the first match of Round One!
(The match begins right now.)
(King of Mask Singer)
This is the first match of Round One.
I'll jump until I reach the throne.
I Am on Fire,
Mr. Spring!
(I Am on Fire, Mr. Spring)
I will jump to the throne.
(Jumping)
(He's so cute!)
Gosh, I haven't seen that in a long while.
- He's good. - He's really good at riding it.
Here comes his opponent.
He's a new sprout in the music industry.
A Sprout on a Potato.
Sprout Man!
(A Sprout on a Potato, Sprout Man)
Let me show you my fresh charms.
(He's tall.)
(Goodness, he's so tall!)
(Who is he?)
He's very tall.
- He's so tall. - Why is he so tall?
I don't think he's a sprout.
Isn't he Han Gi Beom?
(Can he be Han Gi Beom?)
(The two captured everyone's attention from the beginning.)
(It's an inevitable music competition for a spring day.)
(Will Mr. Spring be the winner?)
(Or will Sprout Man be the winner?)
("You Touched My Heart" by Sung Si Kyung)
(Goodness, I love this song.)
I love this song.
They're going to sing this song?
(They're excited already from the intro of the song.)
(Impressed)
(His beautiful voice tickles our hearts like a spring breeze.)
(Mr. Spring warms our hearts.)
(Amazed)
(Sprout Man has a husky voice unlike Mr. Spring.)
(Mr. Spring sings the song with a sad and sweet voice.)
(Sprout Man sings after him with a husky voice.)
They're such pure men.
(Their clear voices complete the duet.)
(Their performance is like a sweet spring sunshine.)
(I love it.)
(House Band)
(It's so sad.)
(It reminds us of the sad memories from the past.)
(It's a soft and sweet harmony.)
(It's a story of someone who wants to get his previous lover back.)
(The two men performed "You Touched My Heart" with warm spring voices.)
(This is nice.)
It warms my heart.
(The performance touched my heart.)
Doesn't Mr. Spring's voice sound very familiar?
- Mr. Spring? - Yes.
(I have no idea.)
The first match of Round One is now over.
Young Seok, how did you like the performance?
This song is originally Sung Si Kyung's song.
Unless you have a very beautiful voice, you wouldn't want to sing it.
- You're right. - But Mr. Spring...
sang this song with his amazingly beautiful voice.
His voice was so sweet that I thought he eats honey...
instead of rice every day.
(His voice was as sweet as honey.)
(He has a sweet voice like a honey jar.)
(How sweet.)
Do you think he's a professional singer?
- I think he is. - You think so.
His voice itself is so great.
- It was very pleasant to listen to. - He has a nice voice.
Sprout Man is very interesting.
The way he breathes and makes sound is not like...
the way professional singers do,
but what I hear is...
a voice of an experienced singer.
(His attractive voice captured everyone's ears.)
(I love it.)
So he can either be a singer or not.
No, he's not a professional singer.
He's definitely not a singer.
I loved his performance because he sang this song...
- with a thick voice. - Sprout Man?
So Young Seok thinks Mr. Spring is a singer...
- and Sprout Man's not a singer. - That's right.
What about you, Hyun Chul?
As for Sprout Man,
although he's not a professional singer, his performance was great.
Think about the models these days.
We used to think only those who have broad shoulders can be models,
but these days, the stereotype is broken.
Even people who have narrow shoulders can be models.
(Excuse me?)
So are you trying to say he has narrow shoulders?
His shoulders are narrower than Seong Ju's.
For his height, his shoulders are quite narrow.
I think he might be an actor who used to be a model.
I see.
As for Mr. Spring, I'm sure he's a professional singer.
It seems like he has been having a break for a while.
- He had a break. - You're right.
I think he might be a singer from our time.
I can tell it from the way he sings.
- Really? - He's that old?
Really?
If you look at the way he's standing,
you can see that he's leaning on one foot.
Oh, please don't move. We got you.
Also, his right shoulder is higher than his left shoulder.
- His right shoulder is higher. - Yes.
Like this. It's slanted.
I think he's a right-handed man who likes sports.
Maybe he's a singer who often plays basketball.
You don't miss anything, do you?
Are you a good basketball player?
Yes.
- Gosh. - I see.
Today, we have Jeong Jong Cheol, our forever Baby Boy. Welcome.
- It's good to be here. - Welcome.
- Hello. - Hi.
What I concluded from Mr. Spring's voice is that...
he must've worked as a singer between...
1985 and 1992.
- Between those seven years? - That's right.
Originally, Sung Si Kyung sang rather plainly like this...
without any techniques.
(I want to go back)
(He sings the last note cleanly.)
One of the popular singing styles...
- between 1985 and 1992... - Yes?
is something like this. I want to go back
(Is his emotional vibrato a popular singing style...)
(from the 1990s?)
- People don't sing like that now. - Oh, I see.
(Yu Young Seok back in 1996)
(Long vibrato)
(Cho Jang Hyuk back in 1994)
(Long vibrato)
I think you're right.
Yes. I think he worked as a singer in that period.
Also, his neck shows his dark skin.
His neck?
Could you show us?
- His skin is dark. - Lift your head a little.
- It's just the shadow. - No, it's not.
- It's the shadow. - Look.
- He's right. - He has dark skin.
- It wasn't the shadow. - I saw it...
- when he was singing. - Right.
Hyun Chul earlier said that he probably likes sports.
He mentioned basketball, but I think he plays golf.
- You think he plays golf? - I think so.
People go abroad to play golf in this season.
It's winter now, but his skin is tanned.
He must've been playing golf abroad for at least two weeks.
He should be someone who isn't so busy then.
He probably has a lot of time on his hands.
- Yes. - Okay. I see.
- As for Sprout Man, - Yes, Sprout Man.
his T-shirt feels like...
- it's from Itaewon. Yes. - Itaewon?
I think he bought his T-shirt in Itaewon.
You mean this T-shirt?
It's possible he lives near Hannam-dong.
- Right. - That's all.
Wait.
You can even tell where he lives?
It must be near Hannam-dong. Yes.
He made a few guesses. What about you, Gu Ra?
Many people would agree with me.
Mr. Spring mainly led the song,
and Sprout Man made a lot of effort to support him.
So I think Sprout Man is not a professional singer.
The question is, which celebrity is that tall?
Among the tall celebrities, the one I can think of is Lee Ki Woo.
- Oh, right. - He's about 190cm tall.
Kim Tae Woo is also tall, but he has a bigger build.
The way I see it, his shoulders show that...
he's someone who is still growing.
- Still growing? - Yes.
- He will grow taller? - You see,
he barely managed to wear those suspenders on his shoulders.
I'm sorry to say this.
He's someone who needs to grow up in every aspect.
Among the popular models these days,
someone is getting the spotlight.
I shouldn't say more.
- I think I got it. - I won't say more.
- Who is it? - Right.
- I also thought it might be him. - I think I got it.
- I'll stop here. - I guess some of you agree.
The reason is that it's quite obvious.
He doesn't feel like someone who is completely mature.
He needs to grow up a little more.
All right. Now, it's time...
to show you their specialties.
Firstly, I'll let you hear Mr. Spring's actual voice.
He'll imitate Park Sang Min's voice.
He must be around our age.
Park Sang Min's voice. Please begin.
(You)
(You fill up my heart)
(Although I'm turning away from you)
I think that's enough.
This was his actual voice.
It was his real voice.
Now, he'll imitate the voice of someone with special hand gestures.
It's Kim Min Jong's voice. Go.
(Dear my love)
(The end)
- Gosh, that was good. - Was it good?
People from that generation would find it funny.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Now, Sprout Man says his voice can go lower than anyone.
He wants to have a game with Jong Cheol.
- Voice lowering game. - It won't be easy to beat me.
- Jong Cheol is... - I have a low-pitched voice.
That's right. Let's start the game. You should keep lowering your voice.
- Do - Ti
- La - Sol
(It's going well.)
(It's like they're digging an underground tunnel.)
(But)
Mi
- Re - It's not going any lower.
- Ti - La
- Sol - Fa
- Mi - It's not going lower.
Your voice isn't going any lower.
- What did you think, Jong Cheol? - He's cute.
- Really? - I'm not sure how old he is though.
He's probably the youngest person...
- in this entire studio. - What?
- You think he's that young? - Yes.
I think he was born in 2002 or 2003.
- 2002 or 2003? - I think he's really young.
The audience seem to be surprised.
- I think he was born in 2003. - 2003?
Sprout Man, what did you eat at the school cafeteria yesterday?
- School cafeteria? - We used to eat taffy.
(Flustered by Sprout Man's answer)
Oh, it's winter vacation now.
Right.
He just nodded a bit.
- It's winter vacation. - He just...
- nodded a bit. - Right?
Just a little.
He nodded without realizing.
It looks like he's listening to Seong Ju...
as if he's a student in the teachers' room.
He's different from other masked singers.
- He seems innocent. - Yes.
He seems so pure, and it's really cute.
When Gu Ra asked him what he ate at the school cafeteria,
Sprout Man answered quietly.
Let's hear it. It might be something he ate a long time ago.
- Can't you tell us? - He answered,
but it'd be such a crucial hint.
You'll find out what he said when the show airs.
You almost got yourself into big trouble. Don't answer so carelessly.
Please be careful. All right.
Now, Sprout Man prepared...
a cute dance routine that goes well with his nickname.
Put your hands on your waist.
1, 2, 3, go.
(I sowed the seeds)
(And watered them)
(Everyone has big smiles on their faces.)
(The seeds are sleeping.)
(Scrunching)
(Tall, cute sprouts)
(The seeds have sprouted)
That's all.
It was his sprouts dance.
Many of you think he's someone young,
but I think this dance probably confused you.
- No, he must be old. - He must be young.
No, I'm sure he's young.
- You think he's young? - Yes.
Now, I will announce the result of the first match.
Mr. Spring's sorrowful voice...
makes the lyrics sound the saddest.
Sprout Man's pure voice...
reminds you of your old love.
Between these two mask singers,
who captured your hearts and won this match? Let's find out.
(Mr. Spring has a voice that captures your heart.)
(Sprout Man sings with his pure emotions.)
Who will win this match...
and become the first one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
(Show us now!)
(The first singer to get the spotlight)
The winner is...
(I Am on Fire, Mr. Spring wins.)
Mr. Spring won.
It's Mr. Spring.
(Jump high, Mr. Spring!)
Yes!
I feel bad for our dear Sprout Man.
Mr. Spring moves on to Round Two.
The final score is 75 to 24.
Mr. Spring won many votes.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big round of applause.
He's the first one to move on to Round Two.
I'll see you again in Round Two.
(Jumping)
Now, you had many different opinions on his identity.
Who could Sprout Man be?
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance.
Please give him a big hand.
(He is not a professional singer,)
(but he has great singing skills like a singer.)
(Is he an actor who debuted as a model?)
Oh, it's winter vacation now.
(He can't hide his pure character. Who could he be?)
("Dance with DOC" by DJ DOC)
He's cute.
("Dance with DOC" by DJ DOC)
(Sprout Man dances adorably to a cute song.)
Go, Sprout Man! That's right.
He's a good guy.
(His pure voice shines more brightly in the solo stage.)
(They always say this to me)
("Do you have a problem with the food?")
(He has a perfectly clear voice.)
(He distinctly vocalizes the lyrics.)
(Mind your own business!)
(Let's dance together!)
(It's the world where you live as you are)
(This tall masked singer looks much cuter in this performance.)
(Wiggling)
(The age doesn't matter.)
(He's the singer with a pure and innocent soul.)
Now, Sprout Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your identity.
(Screaming)
He is...
Who is he?
(Who is he?)
(Is it really that man?)
Reveal your identity.
He is...
"Time" selected him as the most influential teenager in the world.
He's the model, Han Hyun Min.
I can tell by his hair.
(Of course it's Han Hyun Min!)
I knew it.
I got it right.
(It's nice to see you.)
(My goodness.)
(He's the innocent, 18-year-old teenage boy who makes them smile.)
(Are you not happy with the society?)
(We couldn't see his hidden singing ability elsewhere.)
(Don't hide it)
(Shave it)
(Today, he's rather cute than how he's usually chic on runways.)
(Don't care about others think)
(This brave boy fills the entire studio alone.)
(Dancing)
(Thank you.)
(It was such an innocent stage full of his unexpected charms.)
(He's so adorable.)
He's so nice.
I could see his broad shoulders as soon as he took off his mask.
His head is too small.
His head is like this small.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello, I'm the model, Han Hyun Min.
(The world is fascinated by him and his exotic looks.)
(He has been selected as the most influential teenager by "Time".)
(He's got global looks, but his pronunciation is native Korean.)
(He's a typical Korean high schooler...)
(who struggles with English.)
(A native Korean who loves sundae stew the most)
(His hairstyle captures people's attention wherever he goes.)
(He's the blue chip...)
(in the commercial field for his natural swagger.)
(He also was one of the torchbearers in the Pyeongchang Olympics.)
(He's the top model reaching out to the world.)
I guess Gu Ra's guess turned out to be right.
That's right.
- Others must've guessed the same. - Right.
He's a globally renowned model,
but he's currently a sophomore in high school.
I thought he was tall and had a good body shape.
But now that I see him alone on the stage,
he's got this aura which cannot be concealed.
- He's like a statue. - That's what I think.
Like Bong Sun said,
without the mask on his face,
- his head is like this small. - I know.
- His shoulders aren't narrow. - Who said that?
He has such broad shoulders.
- He does. - His shoulders look broad now?
Yes.
Actually, the staff members tried so hard...
to hide his hair.
For the first time on King of Mask Singer,
he wore a swimming cap under his mask.
He's the first masked signer to do that.
This swimming cap.
This one.
His hair kept sticking out.
It was so hard for him to put the mask on.
(It was the staff's mission to cover his hair that's like coral reef.)
It's not going in.
Crumple it in.
(Two staff members struggled to put his hair in the cap.)
(It hurts.)
Are you okay?
It's done.
I look like Homer Simpson.
He's such an innocent student.
A while ago, when Gu Ra asked him...
what he had at the school cafeteria,
He went, "It's spring break now."
- It came out without realizing. - Right.
- I told you it's vacation time. - You asked him that.
I told you schools are in vacation.
I was worried that others might've heard it.
I was so anxious.
What was it like to sing on stage?
I was so nervous.
I practiced so much too.
My skin color is different, so it stands out.
- Check my gloves out. - The gloves?
(His gloves go up to his arms.)
To hide your skin color from everyone?
I had no idea.
When we mentioned your opponent's skin color,
you must've been surprised.
I was scared you might ask me to show my neck too.
He was scared.
(He almost got caught.)
- I was scared. - You should've asked him.
Still, you have experience in modeling.
Models don't talk, you know.
Right, they don't.
So I was very intimidated.
You were.
He's so cute.
I usually can't sing in front of people.
In other variety shows, people asked me to sing,
but I always refused, saying I couldn't sing.
I think I've gained courage through this experience.
I'm so glad.
(They're proud of him.)
Since he works as a model,
I wonder if he can show us his runway steps...
from the back of the stage.
You won't be nervous when you do walking, right?
- Of course not. - Right?
- Can you show us a bit? - Sure.
Think of this stage as a fashion show.
He's the most influential teenager in the world selected by "Time".
He's Han Hyun Min. Please come on out!
(This is the global walking.)
(Good job.)
(He rules the world.)
(Power of a sprout)
(He's really good.)
- He's cute. - Today,
during his precious spring break, he overcame another big hurdle...
called King of Mask Singer with the unbiased singing.
Please give him a round of applause.
Thank you.
(We hope he spreads his wings and flies high!)
Originally, I wasn't very sociable...
and couldn't easily get along with strangers.
During recreational activities in school field trips,
I used to stay at the back and watch others alone.
I thought that overcoming this mountain of difficulty...
would help me in my future difficulties.
It's a good chance which might not be given again.
"Radio Star" was like Mount Cheonggye for me.
"Men on a Mission" is like Mount Surak.
King of Mask Singer is like Mount Dobong.
You said this was the highest mountain.
It's a big mountain.
Mount Dobong is huge.
Hello, dear viewers.
A Sprout on a Potato, Sprout Man
I enjoyed this experience so much.
I hope you support me in the future too. Thank you.
(Please support Hyun Min.)
As the result of Round One,
I Am on Fire, Mr. Spring...
won against Han Hyun Min and advanced to Round Two.
It's the second match of Round One.
He has a sweet voice which makes you want to date someone.
Is This a Green Light? Mask Man.
(Is This a Green Light? Mask Man)
I'm going to show you my charms...
which I've hidden behind my mask.
(Are you ready to turn on the green light?)
(The audience get excited just by seeing him enter the stage.)
He looks mysterious.
I wonder if he's humorous.
Contending against him...
is the singer who's never been influenced by any disturbance.
Stable Vocal Cords, Matrix.
(Stable Vocal Cords, Matrix)
Whatever you imagine, you'll see more than that.
(Flapping)
(What's that flapping umbrella?)
That's in the movie "Matrix".
Oh, this?
(It symbolizes this scene.)
Is Matrix a man or a woman?
The hands look like those of a man.
Matrix is a woman, right?
(They take off their gowns and reveal their outfits.)
- I think Matrix is a woman. - Matrix is a woman?
No, Matrix is a man.
- Is Matrix a woman? - Matrix is a man.
Is Matrix a woman?
Why does Matrix's outfit remind me...
of Hong Rok Ki?
I was reminded of Hong Rok Ki as soon as I saw Matrix.
(These mysterious singers arouse people's curiosity.)
(Like main characters in movies,)
(what kind of fantasy will they show us?)
("For You" by Miss Mister)
(His warm voice nicely resonates with the studio.)
(Is it a man?)
(The androgynous low voice...)
(makes them wonder about the singer's gender.)
(Confused)
(Is Matrix a woman?)
(Mask Man's song enters the audience's hearts.)
(Matrix fills the stage with his charming voice.)
(They want to stay absorbed in Matrix's emotions.)
(Their harmony soothes the heartrending murmurs.)
(This is nice.)
(Today, the two characters are the heroes of the stage.)
(This performance is for us.)
Is Matrix a man or a woman?
I have no idea. Is Matrix a man or a woman?
I think Matrix is a man.
The second match of Round One came to an end.
What did people think were the charms of their voices?
Kai, please go first.
The biggest question the second match brought up...
is Matrix's gender.
- Gender? - Yes.
That is the question.
Matrix's gender.
The gender doesn't matter as long as the song is good,
but Matrix's outfit and singing style...
raised a dispute among the panelists.
The majority of the panelists including me...
think Matrix is a woman.
- Is Matrix a woman? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
Many people among the audience...
are tilting their heads.
Matrix is incredible...
because she sang in a register that is hard for women.
That's how she shocked and touched us.
That's right.
If Matrix is a woman, the low notes she hit would be...
- an impressive feat. - It's a gift.
- As for Mask Man, - Mask Man.
I would like to make a careful guess.
I think he is a perfectionist.
A perfectionist. That's your take on his personality.
I bet his clothes in the closet...
and drinks in the refrigerator are neatly organized.
Where did you get that idea?
From the beginning to the end, the lyrics and notes...
were sung in the perfect order.
I could sense his determination for a beautiful song...
from the way he didn't miss a single note.
The way you sing reveals your personality.
That's right. Would you ask him if that's the case?
Did he correctly guess your personality?
(Bingo.)
He says you did.
You correctly guessed his personality.
Jang Hyuk, you are the expert of breath control.
You probably have a theory about Matrix's gender.
Matrix sang in a register that is impossible for women.
Bong Sun and I thought Matrix is a man.
(At first, he thought Matrix was a man.)
- Park Kyung Seo of Miss Mister... - Oh, right.
- is the original singer. - She was on the show.
- That's right. - She wore...
- a masculine outfit. - She dressed up like a man.
(Everyone guessed her to be a man.)
(She was a female vocalist with androgynous low tone.)
(The twist surprised everyone.)
Everyone was fooled back then.
- We were fooled. - We thought she was a man.
This time, I listened carefully so that I wouldn't be fooled again.
Like Kai, I judge that Matrix has a woman's voice.
- A woman's voice. - That's my guess.
I could tell that her life is closely tied to music.
Right before the chorus, there was a part that went, "Boom, boom."
When the other masked singer was singing,
she moved her free hand...
to the beat.
(When Mask Man was singing...)
(Boom, boom)
(That hand gesture is really something.)
- It wasn't premeditated. - The experts caught that.
I think Matrix is an actress.
She can sing very well,
but I couldn't help but think that her voice is familiar.
Recently, I've been watching old dramas again.
I am watching "Go Back Couple".
- "Go Back Couple". - Yes.
There is a scene in which the family goes to a karaoke.
The actress who played Jang Na Ra's mother,
Kim Mee Kyeong,
has a similar voice.
(Kim Mee Kyeong sang with her low-pitched voice.)
- I think Kim Mee Kyeong... - Kim Mee Kyeong.
is here with us.
- People are murmuring. - People are murmuring.
That means they agree with me.
It's a bit of a stretch to base your judgment...
from a single scene in a drama.
- She sings in that scene. - She has singing skills.
- Her voice is very similar. - She has to be a singer.
- You think she is a singer. - I would like to make...
a careful guess.
She could be one of the two women with similar last names.
Similar last names?
Ji Se Hee and Zee Young Sun.
- Ji Se Hee and Zee Young Sun. - Ji Se Hee and Zee Young Sun.
Zee Young Sun can sing incredibly well.
(Glancing over)
(She is shorter.)
I guess she is short.
Hyun Chul is motioning that she is shorter.
I wanted to check the height.
Her standard singing style...
reminds me of Jeok Woo.
(Glancing over)
- That's right. - She has the same style.
Saying that she is an actress...
is very hasty.
(Hesitant)
I realized something by studying Gu Ra from the back row.
When he isn't certain about his guess,
- he looks at us in the back... - He wants agreement.
- for agreement. - Right now, he isn't sure.
Since Hyun Chul disregarded his initial guesses,
he suddenly turned to Jang Hyuk.
- He isn't sure. - Seriously.
I...
You adjust your guess by studying people.
I don't insist on a ridiculous guess.
The mask resembles Yang Se Hyeong.
(What is he talking about?)
- Really? - That must be why...
I was confused.
It's Keanu Reeves' face.
- The mask resembles Yang Se Hyeong. - Really?
I think Mask Man...
- is an actor who can sing well. - Is he an actor?
Yes, he is an actor.
Is there someone on your mind?
- No, there isn't. - I see.
I have a hunch.
- You have a hunch. - Yes.
- Good for you. - You are doing well these days.
I am doing well these days.
Jim Carrey can be incredibly funny in movies.
Of course.
There is a man who is thriving in comedy performances.
- Do you think Mask Man is an actor? - Yes.
Who is thriving in comedy performances?
Lee Yi Kyung.
- Lee Yi Kyung? - Yes.
He wore a yellow outfit in "Go Back Couple".
- Stop it with "Go Back Couple"! - Is it the only drama you watched?
- It's the only drama you watched. - Is it the only drama you watched?
Not all masked singers starred in "Go Back Couple".
He wears a yellow outfit all the time.
- She is absorbed in the drama. - Seriously.
Lee Yi Kyung and Kim Mee Kyeong.
Yes.
The actors of "Go Back Couple".
Yes.
When you are absorbed, you can't think about anything else.
It's time to check out their specialties.
Firstly, we will hear Matrix's real voice.
Matrix can imitate the sound of cat.
It's not just any cat, but a singing cat.
A cat that is an idol singer.
Matrix, let's hear it.
(Tonight)
(I am the star, meow)
(Goodness)
Let's end it here.
(People will save it in their hearts.)
A cat that is an idol singer.
It's Mask Man's turn.
In Hollywood style, he will show us an impromptu mask dance.
The way he is stretching tells me that he has dance skills.
Music, please.
(It's my show.)
It's like Broadway.
(I'm the main character of the show.)
(With some American gestures)
(Swaying his buttocks)
(He does an improvised dance.)
(What?)
(This is exciting!)
(It's exciting even if it's improvised.)
(Dancing)
(He writes his name with his buttocks.)
(Ta-da.)
(Well... That's it.)
It's over. He's done.
I know it's an improvised dance, but there's no discipline at all.
It's not easy to disappoint Seong Ju like that.
You know what?
I guess he was cast to reveal his face.
Some celebrities are cast just for that.
When they reveal their faces, people shout with joy.
- That's what this is all about. - He must be very famous.
You know what I mean, right?
(You mean cheers like this?)
I'm sure he's very popular these days.
So the director just accepted everything about him.
Even his lame dance moves were accepted because he's popular.
I'm sure that's why he's here.
That's what this is about.
If people don't feel excited...
when he takes off his mask,
it'll be very embarrassing.
By any chance,
- Daniel. - Yes?
Can you show us an improvised dance...
to the same music we just played?
- To the same music? - To the song we just played.
- I'll give it a try. - An improvised dance.
It's Kang Daniel's turn.
Here comes Kang Daniel.
Let's compare his moves to Mask Man's. Music, please.
(What would his improvised dance moves look like?)
(As soon as the music starts...)
(This is amazing!)
(So this is his improvised dance.)
(To the beat of the music)
(He smoothly plays with the rhythm.)
That's right. That's what I expected to see.
That's what I expected to see.
(His dance moves catch the eye of the audience.)
Thank you.
- This is difficult. - He's so good.
This is what an improvised dance should look like.
He just danced with no scenario.
I liked his last dance move.
- Seong Ju, what was that? - His last move.
In fact, Mask Man is the main character here.
But he's completely defeated.
(He's making a joke.)
- Then it means... - He's not defeated.
I don't think he's a top star.
Daniel just made Mask Man look even worse.
I didn't know Daniel would be so good.
- He looks so intimidated now. - You know what?
(He looks so intimidated now.)
Seong Ju, would people be excited to see his face?
I'm telling you.
I'm sure you'll be very excited to see his face.
I'm sure you will.
Is he Yeom Kyung Hwan?
If it's Kyung Hwan, I'd be excited.
- Are you serious? - He's survived for 30 years...
without any specialty.
(He's survived for 30 years without any specialty.)
- I'm serious. - You'll be excited to see him.
I don't understand what he means by that.
I'm very curious.
I'll treat him with exceptional respect.
Mask Man knows...
how to swing a baseball bat.
You know good baseball players...
can put out candles by swinging a bat.
So we made something for him. Please bring it out.
We prepared this for him.
These are ping-pong balls on sorghum straws.
Mask Man. He looks very athletic.
He should hit the ping-pong balls.
- He swings the bat. - Oh my gosh!
That's right. He looks good.
Would he be able to get rid of only ping-pong balls?
Mask Man, go!
(He showed undisciplined dance moves.)
(His specialty disappointed everyone...)
(because of Kang Daniel.)
(Would he be able to recover his tarnished reputation?)
Go!
(Started)
(It's a total mess.)
(Nice catch!)
- What was that? - It was good though.
He broke the straws.
He did a good job though.
It was good enough.
- That was pretty good. - I see.
He did a good job.
Are you satisfied? Do you want to give it one more try?
- Let him do it again. - One more try? Okay.
He's cute.
Get ready.
Go.
(It's even worse.)
Look at Matrix. Did you see that?
Look at Matrix.
You should've seen that.
Matrix stole his thunder again.
All right. Matrix caught people's attention again.
Who on earth is he?
- His swings weren't that bad. - I just looked him up online.
I just looked him up online.
I looked up celebrities who play baseball.
The most famous team is Zomazoma Baseball Team.
And there's a member who's tall and big just like Mask Man.
- It's Lee Jeong Yong. - That's not him.
- Is he Lee Jong Won? - He's not Lee Jong Won.
The leader is Jeong Bo Seok.
Jeong Bo Seok recently got injured.
(Sighing)
- That's not him then. - He got badly hurt.
It can't be him.
All right. I just got the results of the second match of Round One.
Whose voice did the panelists choose?
Now I'll reveal the winner.
(A soft and comforting voice)
(He's a man with clear and plain charm.)
(Is This a Green Light? Mask Man with a pure voice)
(A firm and comforting voice)
(Stable Vocal Cords, Matrix with a dense and husky voice)
Mask Man versus Matrix.
Who is the winner of this match?
The winner is...
- The winner is... - The winner is...
I have no idea.
I don't know who will win.
(Between the two characters that ruled Hollywood,)
(whose voice will threaten Swordswoman?)
Who will move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Matrix.
(A strong voice that could even block bullets)
(They're overwhelmed by Matrix's charisma.)
Matrix won.
(Mask Man did a good job though.)
With a score of 72 to 27, Matrix beat Mask Man.
Matrix got more than 70 votes.
Matrix, please go back to your waiting room.
Please give him a big hand.
(The shocking identity of Mask Man will be revealed soon.)
I prepared a better performance for Round Two.
I hope you will enjoy it. Thank you.
Is he a singer or an actor? It's very confusing.
We will reveal his identity with a solo performance...
prepared for Round Two.
Please give him a big round of applause.
(He's a perfect vocalist with a delicate voice.)
(Is he an actor who sings well?)
(Is he a member of the celebrity baseball team?)
(He turned Broadway...)
(into a small feast with his dance moves.)
(He even showed his poor specialty.)
(It makes the panelists think he's very popular.)
(Is Yeom Kyung Hwan here to surprise Gu Ra?)
(Who on earth is Mask Man?)
("Please Love Her" by Ha Dong Gyun)
I like his voice.
His voice sounds young.
(Mask Man's pure and clear voice fills the studio.)
I like the tone of his voice.
(He expresses his emotions by singing softly.)
(Who is he?)
(He shows his delicate feelings with his plain voice.)
Now, Mask Man, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
He's...
(Screaming)
He's...
They all are standing up.
He must be very famous.
Who on earth is he?
(I told you he's very famous.)
He's...
an all-around athlete,
Actor Seo Ji Suk.
(Seo Ji Suk?)
He's Seo Ji Suk!
(Shocked)
Seo Ji Suk is a member of Zomazoma Baseball Team.
(His head is this small.)
(As Gu Ra said, his appearance guarantees to delight the audience.)
I saw Seo Ji Suk a while ago.
I am a big fan of Ji Suk.
(Why didn't we know?)
(Love me too.)
(Today, he expresses his feelings by singing rather than acting.)
(A stage that conveyed his innocent emotions)
You are so handsome!
(He's a handsome man.)
Go, Ji Suk!
(It's nice to see you, Ji Suk.)
Mask Man's identity has been revealed.
You're a member of Zomazoma Baseball Team, right?
He's a member of Zomazoma.
I saw him a while ago.
- You mentioned wrong people. - Why didn't you know it was him?
All right.
See? I told you he was going to make you go crazy.
We are going crazy.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. It's nice to see you all. I am Actor Seo Ji Suk.
(He's got good looks and lovely voice.)
(From a manager to a doctor, he played all of handsome man's roles.)
(He's the actor who specializes in capturing women's hearts.)
(He used to be a track athlete.)
(He's a manly man who's a natural born sports man.)
(But for a big guy, he is very adorable.)
(He does whatever he's told. He's a talented entertainer too.)
(He's also like an old fox,)
(and he burns with passion.)
(He's a charming man who exudes innocence.)
(Ji Suk is an actor with infinite charms.)
- He's really amazing. - I thought...
Gu Ra was going to guess him right.
He was on "Radio Star" recently.
He said he wanted to be on King of Mask Singer...
and sang with a brown bag over his head. Didn't he?
(He shared his determination to be on King of Mask Singer.)
How is that a mask?
(So he sang very hard with a brown bag mask.)
(Uncomfortable)
That's why at the time... This is a back story.
I criticized the crew of "Radio Star".
I told them how much effort we put into our masks.
So how could they just make him wear a brown bag?
I told them that as a joke.
By the way, his dance became an issue.
Did he dance well during the rehearsal?
His improvised dance was quite good.
And he...
really managed to hit only the ping-pong balls.
Did he really?
(During the rehearsal)
(He succeeded it.)
(The crew were impressed.)
(And he was happy.)
We said it was an amazing talent.
- Really? - But he hit all the straws.
We don't know which video to use.
Shouldn't we...
- watch his dance again? - Yes.
- We should see it again. - We want to see his dance.
Let's see his dance.
I think you don't need to see the dance.
- Is that right? - Show us.
Did performing while wearing a mask...
make you a little nervous?
- Show us. - Well,
- wearing the mask, I... - Show us.
- Show us. - You are in trouble.
When they ask, you have to do it.
Is the music ready?
(They are excited.)
You should dance with your mask off while Daniel watches you.
Give him the music once again.
(Improvised dance without the mask)
(Dancing)
(His steps are very basic.)
(Good job.)
I am Seo Ji Suk!
(He's lost in his performance.)
(He's doing his best.)
(I am Seo Ji Suk.)
(Hello.)
- Look at them. Look at them. - His buttocks are...
(He ends by shyly waving his hands.)
(That was amazing.)
My gosh.
That wasn't easy to do.
What did you think of it? He's very different from...
when he was on "Radio Star", isn't he, Gu Ra?
His biggest strength is sincerity.
- Sincerity. - He does his best at all times.
It's not easy for a big actor like him...
to dance and to communicate...
- with many people. - Right.
I thought of him as someone who gives his all to everything.
I am excited for his future. He's a diligent man.
He's a good colleague.
Right. On the stage of King of Mask Singer,
he showcased his charms only with his voice.
Please give it up for him once again.
Thank you. Thank you.
(We hope you will continue to be innocent and passionate.)
This mask is like a magic.
Singing was one thing.
But I had never danced or performed my specialty...
in front of people.
It was like that in the movie too.
When he put on the mask, he changed.
When I wore this mask,
I changed, as if I was possessed.
And I was able to transform into Mask Man.
Is This a Green Light? Mask Man was me, Seo Ji Suk.
I will try to become a better,
greater, and longer-lasting actor.
Thank you.
Stable Vocal Cords, Matrix...
beat Ji Suk and made it to Round Two.
This is the third match of Round One.
He has a perfect voice we want to keep forever.
I Want Time to Stop, Terius.
(I Want Time to Stop, Terius)
With a voice women love,
I will win all the votes from the women panelists.
(I've come to stop your time.)
(They already love him.)
(His appearance raises our expectations.)
I think his voice is going to be amazing.
Contending against him...
is this masked singer with 2018's masterpiece voice.
Don't Tease Me Because I Am Young,
Little Princess.
With my lovely voice, I will make it to Final Match.
(She looks very graceful.)
(She's cute.)
(Her cute appearance captures men's hearts.)
She looks very modest.
My goodness. They are handsome and beautiful.
(They look like a good looking couple in a fairy tale.)
(It's exciting to see how their harmony...)
(will invite the panelists into the masterpiece.)
("Romeo N Juliet" by Clazziquai)
(Oh, dear.)
(Their clean voices...)
(tickle our ears.)
Their voices are unbelievable.
(Little Princess' fresh charm...)
(and Terius' charm...)
(create the delightful pinkish mood.)
(It's like spring has come early.)
(The warm harmony of the two masterpiece heroes...)
(makes us smile gently.)
(They gently rap to the calm beat.)
(This is amazing.)
(She has a unique voice, and her gestures look relaxed.)
(He softly raps as if he's talking.)
(The panelists forgot they had to guess their identities.)
(The two charming voices make a charming harmony.)
(I love it.)
("Romeo N Juliet" brought an early spring breeze to the stage.)
(It's so sweet.)
They're such good singers.
I love their voices.
Whom should I vote for?
The third match of Round One is now over.
Young Seok, you seem pretty excited. Is your heart fluttering?
We call a song like this "love catalyst".
Their duet performance was beautiful.
I especially fell in love with Little Princess' voice.
Having a beautiful voice sometimes has a downside.
But her voice is not simply beautiful but rich.
(Her voice is stable and full of emotions.)
Her voice is unique as well. She's a full package.
- Her voice is beautiful, rich... - Rich and unique.
It's a full package.
I have a feeling that she'll get to sing all three songs she prepared.
Her time hasn't come yet,
but it might be soon.
Then should we soon say goodbye to Terius?
- I think that's what it means. - Can I now turn over the mic?
My opinion is completely opposite to his.
Is it?
I could hear nothing but Terius' voice today.
Because his voice has a power that leads you.
Although Little Princess' voice is clear...
and very unique no matter how much she tries to suppress it,
Terius' voice embraced it and led the song.
(Terius' voice gently embraced Little Princess' voice.)
I fell in love with his charm.
This song is originally performed by Clazziquai.
But their performance was so great that it sounded like it's their own.
If you break one thing into two pieces,
separate them,
and put them back together, they perfectly match.
Just like the two pieces, their harmony was perfect.
I don't want to separate them.
I once went on a trip to Italy.
I tried balsamic ice cream there for the first time.
- Balsamic? - So...
Not many people are used to this kind of ice cream.
Balsamic vinegar has a sour taste,
and vanilla ice cream is soft and sweet.
It's hard to imagine how they'd go together.
When I first tried it,
I was stunned by their chemistry.
Terius' voice was like vanilla ice cream,
while Little Princess' voice was like balsamic vinegar.
The sour taste and the sweet taste made a perfect harmony.
I wished I could hear it longer.
If you have been watching this show regularly, you should know it.
What I say on this show always comes true.
(What? We've never heard of that.)
Did you just say what you say always come true?
If I mention someone many times, that person shows up eventually.
I have been playing games with the staff,
but I have been losing.
But today, I'm confident.
- Are you? - Yes.
One of the people I mentioned is Little Princess.
Little Princess?
Is she Gil Hak Mi?
Do you remember that I mentioned CHEEZE earlier?
- CHEEZE. Is she here? - You know her, don't you?
(Gu Ra listened to her music at a skin clinic.)
(It's that voice!)
(Gu Ra was so sure that Taoist Fairy was CHEEZE.)
(But she turned out to be Sol Bin.)
(Din Din nagged Gu Ra for his mistake.)
- Have you heard of CHEEZE? - CHEEZE?
Don't you think she's CHEEZE? Don't you?
I'm so sure I beat the staff this time.
- I think she's CHEEZE. - He thinks she's CHEEZE...
whom he always mentioned.
- It seems like... - I think her voice is a bit...
- different from CHEEZE's. - Ji Sun and Young Seok agree.
- Is it? - Yes.
I think they're idol singers.
- Both of them? - Yes.
- I think so too. - Daniel agrees.
- Both of them? - They're idol singers.
Look at the way they're standing.
- Both look disciplined. - They're skinny.
Hang on a minute.
Little Princess is an experienced idol singer.
So she feels more comfortable on the stage.
She makes a lot of gestures. She looked experienced.
Besides, she looked relaxed on the stage.
- She debuted earlier than him. - Yes, she's a senior singer.
And Terius is a newbie who feels uncomfortable being on shows.
- He's a newbie? - That's why he's standing still.
My goodness.
- He's so stiff. - Exactly.
He's so stiff like a stone.
But Daniel said the way he stands...
- reminded him of someone. - He knows who he is.
- Daniel. - I'm 70 percent sure.
- 70 percent. - Yes.
He's very humble.
I think you can say you're 99 percent sure.
His voice is so similar to the person I have in mind.
His voice when he sings.
- Is he an idol singer? - Yes.
- Do you know him? - Yes.
Then is she an idol singer as well, Daniel?
Yes.
- Then... - I'm sure about that.
Gu Ra said she's CHEEZE.
They have different ideas, but they are sure they are right.
I personally think the possibility that she's CHEEZE...
- is about 30 percent. - 30 percent.
- 30 percent? - You're suddenly so unsure.
Why did you insist it's CHEEZE if it was only 30 percent?
- You said you were very sure. - He's sweating a lot.
I thought he was 130 percent sure.
- I thought it should be over 50. - It's 30 percent.
After Lady Jane and Daniel's comments, he's only 30 percent sure.
- It's become lower, yes. - Good.
Now, we're going to see their specialties...
to make you confident with your guesses.
Let's start with Little Princess. She said she could imitate apes.
First, she'll imitate a chimpanzee.
It's a chimpanzee that likes S.E.S.
Please show us.
(I wish you trust me)
(I love you, S.E.S.)
(Calm)
(That indeed looked like a chimpanzee.)
That was amazing. Now, it's a gorilla.
Let's see which singer this gorilla likes.
(It's painful to lose you)
(My heart is broken)
I have no idea who that is. Who is this?
- Do you want to know? - Yes.
It was Son Dam Bi gorilla.
Now I get it.
- Let's see that again. - This is fun.
Now we know the answer, please do it again. Ready, go.
(She dances like a gorilla.)
It was Son Dam Bi.
- She has an interesting specialty. - Indeed.
Good job. Thank you.
Great. Now, we'll check out Terius' specialties.
He said he would like to show some cute moves with his real voice.
(Expectant)
Are you ready? Please show us.
(Terius' cute moves)
(He's ready to be cute.)
(Sweetie)
Sweetie
(Surprised)
(I have a huge crush on someone)
(Why is he dancing as well?)
(It is so painful)
(The audience feel painful.)
(I'm cute, aren't I?)
(We have a lot to say, but we won't say anything.)
He has a very unique charm.
(Some girls are very satisfied.)
Daniel, can you do something like this too?
- Excuse me? - Can you do something like this?
Excuse me?
(Seong Ju, well done!)
Sounds good. Let's do this.
- Daniel. - I'll do my best.
It isn't easy. Please show us your cute moves.
(Sweetie)
(Pardon?)
(Me?)
(I have a huge crush on someone)
(This is what you call cute.)
(They love it.)
(It's so painful that I could die)
(He's embarrassed.)
- He's very good. - He's good.
- He does everything he's told. - He's a newbie, that's why.
Although it might have been a bit embarrassing,
you just won many women's hearts.
Thank you.
We're very much wondering...
if Little Princess is a member of a girl group or not.
She's going to show us the dance moves...
of Celeb Five, which is very popular these days.
We've become so successful!
Bong Sun seems very happy.
- Take a look... - Isn't the choreography very hard?
- It's actually very difficult. - It is, isn't it?
Every time we finish dancing, we have to take a 10-minute break.
(The choreography is made difficult on purpose.)
Please watch her dancing and tell us what you think of it.
Does Little Princess belong to a girl group or not?
- It's my first time seeing it. - Let's see...
- She's so prepared. - She's doing it barefoot.
- She took off her shoes. - Shoes are slippery.
Good.
Please give us the music of Celeb Five!
(Celeb Five's dance)
(Here we go.)
This choreography is quite aggressive.
She's definitely an idol singer.
(Her moves are perfectly synchronized.)
Goodness, she's amazing.
Goodness.
(Her dance moves are disciplined.)
She must be an idol singer. I'm sure of it.
That's it!
(She perfectly covered Celeb Five's dance.)
- She's a great dancer. - Yes.
- I... - I'm sure she's an idol singer.
Normally, someone would want to see the original dance,
but no one is asking for it.
- Let's see it. - We should see it.
Let's see it.
- We should see it. - Bong Sun,
- please come up to the stage. - To the stage?
(Excited)
Let's compare her dance to the original one.
Since you dance Kim Shin Young's part,
I'll be your wing. Is that okay?
All right. Good.
Bong Sun dances a certain part,
and Little Princess dances a different part.
You need to take off your socks?
- You need to take off your socks? - Yes.
I see.
You wipe off your sweat in a strange way.
All right. Let's see it.
It's Celeb Five's dance. Music, please.
(Bong Sun is on the right wing.)
(Let's go.)
(They're dancing perfectly in sync.)
They're good.
Gosh.
(Dancing perfectly together)
(It seemed as if they're in one group.)
(That was a great performance indeed.)
Although this is originally Bong Sun's dance,
I'm really sorry to say this,
but Little Princess was...
She's a really good dancer.
I'm sure she's an idol singer.
- Really? - I'm sure too.
- You too, Daniel? - Yes. She's a great dancer.
But she chose to dance to this song.
- Celeb Five isn't an idol group. - Right.
- They're in their 40s on average. - They're comediennes.
- Our average age is 37. - Song Eun Yi is in the group too.
But she danced to this song very well.
That must mean she is not an idol singer.
I think the funny dance moves show...
that she's far from an idol singer.
That's what I think.
Also, I'm sure she's young...
because I tried to listen to her breathing sound...
- after the dance. - She wasn't panting?
Not at all.
- She was fine? - She wasn't tired.
- After dancing to the song twice? - Yes.
Bong Sun, you can take a 10-minute break.
Yes, please turn off my microphone.
All right. Good.
Now, I will announce the result...
of the third match of Round One.
I guess it was quite hard for you to make a decision.
(What is it?)
The winner of this match...
won by only three votes.
- Really? - Oh, gosh.
Let's find out the result now!
(Terius' sweet, mellow voice...)
(and Little Princess' fresh, sweet voice like a strawberry with cream)
(It was a competition, but they made a pink harmony together.)
Who will win this match...
and become the third one to move on to Round Two?
The winner is...
Who is it?
Gosh! Who is it?
(It was a tough match.)
(Which singer remained longer in the audience's hearts?)
Is it going to be Terius or Little Princess?
The winner is...
Terius won.
(Terius moves on to Round Two.)
(They accept the result...)
(and feel disappointed at the same time.)
Oh, no. Little Princess did well too.
Terius won.
He defeated Little Princess with a score of 51 to 48.
The final score is 51 to 48. He won by a narrow margin...
and moved on to Round Two.
Please go back to your waiting room.
Let's give him a big hand.
(Little Princess' identity will be revealed soon.)
He won by three votes.
Everyone, I'll see you in Round Two. Bye.
Little Princess lost by just three votes,
and now she has to take off her mask.
Who could she be?
Let's reveal her identity...
with a solo performance.
Please give her a big round of applause!
(Her singing is as piquant as skate samhap.)
(It sounds pretty, rich, and piquant.)
(A combination of 3 different charms)
(I'll correctly guess who she is today.)
(I'm sure she's CHEEZE.)
(No, she's an idol singer.)
(Many of them think she's an idol singer.)
(Is she just a good dancer or an idol singer?)
(The funny dance moves show that she's not an idol singer.)
(Who is she?)
("Rhinoceros" by Han Young Ae)
She chose a great song.
Gosh.
("Rhinoceros" by Han Young Ae)
(Surprised)
(I feel bad that she lost.)
(She has a fascinating voice...)
(that steals the hearts of the listeners.)
(Yes)
(Oh, my.)
(It feels liberating to listen to her singing powerfully.)
(She comfortably goes around the stage like a veteran.)
Now, Little Princess, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Look who it is!)
She is...
(It's someone they never imagined.)
Who is it?
(They're cheering like crazy.)
Little Princess, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
She is the main dancer of Oh My Girl,
Yoo A!
It was Yoo A?
- Yoo A? - Yoo A of Oh My Girl?
(It was Yoo A?)
(She wasn't CHEEZE?)
(It's a shocking appearance...)
(of a familiar face.)
Is she the Yoo A we know?
(Yes, I'm the Yoo A you know.)
Unbelievable.
(Yoo A surprises everyone with her hidden charms.)
(What about CHEEZE?)
Everyone, let's have fun together.
(She's relaxed enough to enjoy her stage.)
(Her wonderful stage breaks people's bias on idol singers once again.)
(Unbelievable)
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness. Yoo A.
Gosh, Yoo A. You did a great job.
It gave me goosebumps.
It was Yoo A, the main dancer of Oh My Girl.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Yes. Hello, dear viewers.
I'm Yoo A, the main dancer and the lead vocalist of Oh My Girl.
(Hello, I'm Yoo A.)
(She debuted as a member of Oh My Girl in 2015.)
(With many different choreographies and themes,)
(they became a popular, fairy-like idol group.)
(Their song was even ranked on the Billboard Charts.)
(Yoo A is a cute girl who can dance to any genre of music.)
(With her refreshing, cheerful charms,)
(she became the star in the commercial field too.)
(Yoo A of Oh My Girl has a lovely voice that steals men's hearts.)
Yoo A, you often joined our show as a panelist.
I heard that when you watched the stage from over there,
you had very special feelings.
Whenever I watched the stage from there,
everyone seemed like soaring birds to me,
regardless of whether they're singer or not.
- Soaring birds? - Yes.
Today, I got to sing on this stage as well,
and I felt like I became a soaring bird too. It made me very happy.
I see.
(Uncle Yoon Seok seems to be touched.)
You seemed to be very surprised, Gu Ra.
Yes. I know that she is a good singer...
because she was on "Radio Star" a while ago.
(When she was on "Radio Star" a while ago,)
(she sang "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid".)
(She is good.)
I thought she was a really good singer,
but since I'm too much into CHEEZE these days...
- I'm sorry. - She was not CHEEZE.
- She was not. - I don't know CHEEZE well,
but I thought she was such a good dancer.
So I concluded that CHEEZE would also be good at dance,
- but she was not CHEEZE. - She was not.
I was surprised that she chose "Rhinoceros" as her song.
- It's Han Young Ae's song, right? - "Rhinoceros".
- Yes. - It's my favorite song.
As far as I know,
- the song was released in 1988. - It was.
Then was it released even before you were born?
Yes. Since I was born in 1995.
Right. Do you like this song?
Yes. I'm a huge fan of Han Young Ae.
I liked it better because...
I could sing the song here. It was the best.
Young Seok and I have missed Yoo A a lot.
I was so surprised to see her sing that well on stage.
I was so impressed.
- She's almost a diva now. - She is.
Today, I saw the new side of Yoo A...
that I've never imagined.
- I see. - Young Seok and I...
are now shocked.
If she has such a great singing skill,
there would be great synergy when it's combined with her dance.
- Of course. - I'm sure...
many people were impressed.
With not only her dance but her singing skill that was concealed,
Yoo A of Oh My Girl showed her unexpected charms.
Please give her a round of applause.
Thank you.
I missed you so much, everyone.
(You did a good job.)
Good job.
I was so nervous,
but as they are the ones I used to see,
I got relieved later.
In fact, I love rock.
People who know my voice...
think that my singing voice would be very fragile.
I wanted to break that prejudice.
I hoped to show the new side of me,
so I chose "Rhinoceros".
I'll keep pursuing music which I love,
and try to be a singer...
who can permeate your hearts.
Please remember me. Thank you.
I Want Time to Stop, Terius...
defeated Yoo A of Oh My Girl, and moved on to Round Two.
It's the last match of Round One.
In a cute way, play the traditional music.
Cutie Pie, Ogomu.
(Cutie Pie, Ogomu)
Please look forward to my dynamic performance.
(Dynamic)
(What a cutie pie.)
Ogomu.
(Cute Ogomu livens up the mood.)
- Goodness. - He is so flexible.
(He's cute.)
Contending against him is...
Can you feel my drumbeat?
Hit Me Before You Go, Drum Man.
(Hit Me Before You Go, Drum Man)
I will touch you...
with my powerful performance.
(Ready to touch)
(My heart is pounding.)
(He looks charismatic as he enters.)
He looks powerful.
Both of them are percussion instruments.
(The percussion instruments look fierce from their entrance.)
(The panelists can't wait to hear them sing.)
(Who will dominate the stage?)
(The performance of the two strong rivals begins now.)
("What a Friend Is" by Park Hyo Shin and Kim Bum Soo)
(They have high hopes as it's a song by the two great vocalists.)
(Amazed)
(Ogomu starts the song with his sweet voice.)
(My goodness.)
(What's going on?)
(Drum Man's voice is as sweet as Ogomu's.)
(It's so good.)
(Ogomu's voice is sweet yet powerful.)
(He is so focused on showing his great singing skills.)
(He is awesome.)
(Drum Man contends against him in a relaxed way.)
(A nice voice that whispers in people's ears)
(Their hearts are fluttering.)
(Drum Man sings with stable breathing and vocalization.)
(It's a close match between two skillful singers.)
(The two percussion instruments touched people endlessly.)
(What a delightful stage!)
They're good.
- They are good. - It's a tough decision.
The last match...
of Round One is over now.
His name is Hit Me Before You Go,
Drum Man.
Hit Me Before You Go...
sounds like, "Hit me if you can."
He has both techniques and power.
It looks like he is protected by the wall...
of dignity, pride and composure.
I felt like he was throwing or shoulder throwing...
people's hearts with his breathing.
So I want him to contend against the queen.
That's what I hope.
- You said it straightforward. - Yes.
No way.
I don't mean Ogomu didn't do well at all.
Even though he sang very well,
but I noticed that he was trying so hard to sing it nicely.
He was too focused on gestures...
to call him a professional singer.
So I thought he may not be a professional singer.
I know what you mean. He was trying too hard.
- He was. - And he was...
dancing...
when he first appeared.
(Ogomu was dancing hard when he entered.)
That is a dance that Comedian Kim Jeong Ryeol...
did back in the days. To be honest,
comedians don't do those moves anymore.
But he did it very well.
- It's called a leg sway dance. - Right.
Could you show the dance that you did once again?
- You mean the leg sway dance? - Yes.
- That's it. - Yes.
- That is it. - Right.
- He is so good. - I can't do it.
Only comedians can do it that well.
- It's hard to sway the legs. - It's not easy to do it like that.
- It's like... - Can you do it one more time?
- Try it again. - See?
- It's not easy at all. Look at him. - He's so good.
His voice...
reminded me of Comedian Lee Jae Hoon.
The one who speaks in dialect in a skit.
His voice sounds so similar to his.
- Jae Hoon is a very good singer. - He is.
- Is he? - His voice sounded just like...
Jae Hoon's, so I thought it was him.
He would be disappointed to hear that.
He is a professional singer.
- Is he? - Among the professional singers,
he is one of the best singers.
Then why did he try too hard while singing?
If he's not, who else could be a professional singer?
- I agree with him. - But why are you so angry? Gosh.
There are comedians who can sing very well.
- Sure. There are quite many. - Some are great singers.
The leg moves looked like...
those of a great dancer.
That even reminded me of modern dance.
Ho Young, at least about the leg sway dance,
trust us comedians' judgement.
- Right. He's got the groove. - You're right.
- He's got the groove and soul. - You know, Jong Cheol and I...
- have this feeling. - Right.
We know who he is.
I think we shouldn't think only of that but every factor.
- Generally speaking... - We can't think of all the factors.
Seeing his performance in general,
he was relaxed, and he had enough stage manners too.
Also, he has a firm vocalization which comes from his vocal cords.
He's a singer for certain.
- Is he? - He is.
On the other hand,
I think Drum Man is a not a singer who's just great at singing.
You think Drum Man is a not a singer?
- Right. - What?
Ogomu is good at singing.
But since this non-singer is too good at singing,
he became competitive and did really hard.
Is she claiming that Ogomu is a singer...
- and the other is not? - Yes.
- That's... - That's what I think.
Let's hear from Daniel who doesn't know any of this.
- Do you know of this gag? - No.
- I have no idea what that is. - Forget about it then.
Tell us how you think about their performance.
I think both of them are singers.
- Both of them? - Yes.
But I think Ogomu is a senior, and the other is a junior.
Ogomu is a senior, and Drum Man is a junior?
Yes, Ogomu seems experienced,
and I thought it was cool when he bounced to the rhythm.
He thinks the two are singers and Ogomu is a senior.
I guess a lot of you are confused.
Ogomu will show you some dance moves.
It's called the fluttering dance. Music, please.
(It's the "Produce 101" version of "Knock".)
(Goodness.)
(Sexy)
This is it.
(He's showed them what the dance is like, and now...)
(What?)
- What's this? - Isn't it a bit strange?
- What's this? - It's strange.
- See? It's strange. - Why would he stop in the middle?
(Daniel is proud and thankful.)
- He's a comedian for certain. - Thank you.
Daniel thanked him.
- Thank you. - Did he do all right?
- Yes, he did so well. - Really?
- Shall we check the original dance? - Show us.
Show us. We want to see how the original dance goes.
- All right. - We want to watch it in the front.
But Ogomu just danced the same thing.
Let's see him dance. Music, please.
(The music is played with the hopes of every woman.)
(Screaming)
(Just his existence makes their hearts flutter.)
(This is worth saving in their phones.)
(It opened their hearts wide.)
Gosh, he's the original of this dance move.
This time, let's see how Drum Man dances.
He will show off female idol group dance moves...
that embody a round, full moon-like drum.
Music, please.
(He's prepared "Full Moon" by Sun Mi.)
It's Sun Mi's song.
(He's prepared "Full Moon" by Sun Mi.)
(The full moon floats gently.)
(Walking lightly)
(He nicely expresses the dynamics and details of the dance.)
(Wiggling)
(What?)
(Body wave)
(I shouldn't have seen it.)
That's it.
It's the full moon dance.
I didn't know he was this sexy.
(Apologetic)
I expected he'd be good.
- He was too good. - He looked like he'd be good.
This time, let's hear how Ogomu mimics voices.
He'll mimic Shin Gu's voice. Let us hear it!
Small cars need to be checked more carefully...
because precious people will ride on them.
(Amazed)
- That was detailed. - That's right.
This time, it's Jun In Kwon.
Don't worry anything
In Kwon's life
He's got the feeling. He must be a comedian.
This time, it's Yoo Hyun Sang of Baekdusan.
He's pretty aged.
Up in the sky
- See? - That's it.
See? I'm 100 percent sure he's a comedian.
(Laughing)
Mimicking voices is like caricatures.
You have to emphasize a person's detail and characteristics.
He's good at it.
Jong Cheol, can you mimic any of the voices he just mimicked?
- I don't know how to mimic humans. - His specialty is animal sounds.
I think of myself as a machine when I mimic machine sounds.
I consider myself a phone when I mimic cellphone sounds.
(I'm the vibrating machine.)
(Incoming call)
(It's so fascinating.)
This is how it's done.
Bring us to a club.
A club goes like this.
(Beatboxing)
(It's fascinating just to hear it.)
(It's a beat that makes dancers gather at a club.)
Outside the club, it goes...
(Beatboxing)
Inside the club, it goes...
(He's indeed the mimicking machine.)
- This is how it's done. - Let us hear the subway sound.
- Stop it now. - Just once.
- The subway sound. - Please.
Daniel wants it too.
(Ringing)
The train heading to Danggogae approaching the platform.
(Train approaching the platform)
(It really sounds like a train.)
(The doors are closing.)
This is it.
(They're amazed by his high-quality specialty.)
It's impressive.
- And you think Ogomu did all right? - Well...
- Right. - I watched their attitudes...
as they showed us their specialties.
I think he's a comedian for certain.
He's your junior.
(Gu Ra thinks he's Jong Cheol's junior.)
It seemed like he knew my repertory.
He was like, "There he goes again."
"Bong Sun is instigating him again." Like this.
(Seeing Jong Cheol show off his specialty,)
(he was like, "There he goes again.")
(Seeing Bong Sun instigate,)
(he was like, "There she goes again.")
Ogomu does seem like a comedian.
It's Drum Man's last specialty
He can sing stably as he does push-ups.
Let's see how good he is at push-ups.
We brought him a low mic stand.
It's low.
Push-ups...
(Gosh, my eyes!)
The audience at the back are very embarrassed.
He couldn't set a direction.
The audience are everywhere around the stage.
Please be understanding.
Now, ready, set, and go.
We gathered together with the same dream
Unbelievable.
- Is he singing? - Is he signing now?
(They stand up to watch a rare live performance.)
(He's singing as well as doing push-ups.)
(But he feels so relaxed and comfortable.)
(He finishes the song in a stable way.)
(This is awesome.)
- Gosh. - He's the best.
He raised his hand.
(Ogomu raises his hand as soon as he finishes.)
He raised his hand. He wants to do it too.
He wants to do it too.
- It's what comedians do. - It's exactly like comedians.
- They can't watch others go well. - This is their characteristic.
- It's their characteristic. - Right.
They can't watch others go well.
I'll sing on a handstand position.
- See? - On a handstand position?
- He exaggerates like that. - Without shaking?
- Yes. - All right.
You'll sing as you do a handstand.
(Look, Mr. MC.)
Yes?
You'll do it too?
- He seems like a comedian too. - Well...
- You don't have to be greedy. - You want to do it?
All right. We're doing something very strange.
Please stand on your hands.
Can he do it?
(They're excited.)
You can begin now.
(Their 2nd duet is a bit strange.)
(This is like...)
(a men's competition which has their pride on the line.)
- That's amazing. - Good job.
That's all.
- All right. - They're good.
They're both singers.
One stood on his hands, and the other did push-ups.
The way I see it, they must feel very competitive towards each other.
- Right? They don't want to lose. - I know.
All right. I've received the result.
I'll now reveal...
the last winner of Round One.
I wonder who'll be the last singer to advance to Round Two.
(His high notes are in a different level.)
(Ogomu has a singing ability full of techniques.)
(On the other hand, Drum Man has a relaxed vocalization.)
(It's heartwarming just to hear him sing.)
Between Ogomu and Drum Man,
who's the last person to advance to Round Two?
The winner is...
(Hit Me Before You Go, Drum Man wins.)
Drum Man wins.
(There you go!)
- That's right. - Yes!
(The match was neck and neck and unpredictable.)
(That's why they feel bad for the loser.)
The result is 57 to 42. It isn't too big of a difference.
Please move to the waiting room. Give him a round of applause.
(The identity of Ogomu will be revealed soon.)
He's the last singer who advances to Round Two.
I'll show you the reason why I'm Drum Man on Round Two. Let's go!
I wonder who he is.
We'll check his identity as we watch his solo performance.
Please give him a round of applause.
(He was good at singing,)
(but the panelists kept saying he might not be a singer.)
(Even the experts were confused about his identity.)
(He perfectly managed to do the thigh-brushing dance.)
(And his mimicry was on point.)
(Is it obvious that he's a comedian?)
What's this? What's this song?
(With a mysterious piano intro...)
(Ogomu makes us fall into the labyrinth-like performance.)
(Oh, dear! This song is...)
("Gashina" by Sun Mi)
(He reinterprets the dance song into his own.)
(He's not a comedian. He's a singer.)
(He is a singer.)
(I know.)
(Ad-libbing)
(With the rich rhythm and blues rhythm, they fall into his charms.)
It's so lovely.
(With the rich rhythm and blues rhythm, they fall into his charms.)
Now, Ogomu, please take off your mask...
and reveal your face.
(Screaming)
He is...
- Who is it? - Who is it?
(Is he someone we know?)
Reveal your face.
He is...
a talented vocalist with a charming voice,
The Ray.
(It was The Ray!)
The Ray.
It was The Ray!
- No way. - He's amazing.
I told you he is a singer!
(The Ray's high-quality rhythm and blues singing method...)
(can't be hidden.)
(They all thought he was a comedian.)
(He freely rides the rhythm,)
(and the way he controls the dynamics is thrilling.)
(His high notes are filled with emotions too.)
(Impressed)
That's insane.
(That was so good.)
(His version of "Gashina" was beautifully shocking.)
(Bravo!)
He's good.
Who said he was a comedian?
He sings so well.
It was The Ray.
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello. I debuted in 2006 with the song "Clean Up".
I am a singer with 13 years of experience, The Ray.
Welcome.
(Every vocalist has sung his song at least once.)
(He's the singer of the masterpiece, "Clean Up".)
(His sorrowful emotions made him big in the soundtrack scene.)
(As a professor, he's working hard to educate future artists.)
(He's an amazing vocalist with an explosive singing ability.)
(In 2017, he sang "Nostalgia" with a more mature voice...)
(and proved his solid musical style.)
(He's a sentimental ballad singer who's always been around us.)
- He's the famous The Ray. - That's right.
His song "Clean Up" is the most popular song...
among music students and young artists.
Please sing "Clean Up".
Sing what?
Please sing one bar of "Clean Up".
One bar of "Clean Up"?
(If that's what you want.)
Can you sing one bar of "Clean Up"?
(Please sleep next to me)
(My ears are melting.)
(I left your space empty)
All right.
(A masterpiece and a master singer)
- It was... - And you called him a comedian?
- What did you say? - By the way...
- His talent... - My gosh.
- fooled everyone. - His talent was unbelievable.
Right.
I thought Gu Ra could perhaps guess him.
I heard you and Gu Ra have a special connection.
- Yes. - What is that special connection?
We used to belong to the same agency when I just debuted.
The head of the agency...
said a really good singer had joined us...
and that he would be the next Wheesung.
So I knew him.
This is a side note, but I got into a fight...
with that agency over my talent fee.
- I sued them and got it back. - Aren't you side-tracking too much?
- I didn't know about this. - Right. He doesn't know the story.
So I think the agency...
wasn't able to give him the support he needed.
Perhaps that might be why he had such a long break.
There was a problem with the agency, wasn't there?
There was,
- but I've been working all along. - That's a relief.
I got paid too.
- I took it to the court. - We...
He told me this at the time.
He said I sing well, but since I have to be...
more loved by the public I should sing a little better.
I think I am here today because things went well.
(He's proud.)
He's witty too.
He showcased his strong presence and charming voice today.
Please give it up again for The Ray.
Thank you.
(We hope we can continue to hear his song.)
Whenever I go on a music show,
young artists come and say hi to me.
And some of them tell me that they sang my song...
"Clean Up" to pass the audition.
That's when I realized...
that I am a good influence to other people.
So I'm working hard to not fall behind.
I am trying to do my best.
I promise you I will come back with better music. Thank you.
(Next week)
(The mood as sweet as candies...)
(capture women's hearts.)
(But they can't just be sweet.)
(The competition gets intense, and the atmosphere heats up.)
(Did they choose the best songs ever?)
(I'm getting scared.)
(But the queen's performance is just as intense.)
(The close match drives the panelists mad.)
(What will be the result of this intense match?)
(It will be revealed next week.)
